Hi all,

So I bought a new laptop 10 days ago to test my apps with Vista. (home
premium) Apparently Office 2007 is pre-installed. (a time limited but
complete test version, no SP1) So I take the opportunity to test some
new features of Access2007 before actually 'stepping over'. First
thing that troubles me of course is 'the ribbon', but my question now
is about speed.

I opened one of my Access 2000-apps in Access 2007.
Speed and responsiveness is bad! It appears to me like 'wading through
the mud'. Opening an unbound form takes 2-3 seconds... Closing a form
also...

After converting the app to Access 2003 format speed is the same
(bad) Even after converting to Access 2007 accdb ....

In Access 2000 or Access 2003 the app is 'snappy'.

Tested with a couple of more apps, but I am getting the same results.

--Name auto correct is off
--Backend (Acc2000) with subdatasheets <none>

Tried to install SP1 but that install simply failed...
Checked references, tried decompile, tried compact, tried import in
clean db and such.

Any idea's ? I must be missing something obvious here...

I run Office 2007 on a desktop with an Intel E6750 (dual) cpu and 2 gigs
of ram. It's fine, fast if not snappy.
But on other, older computers with a single processor it's been
gruesomely slow and I've uninstalled it and reinstalled Office 2000, 2002
or 2003 depending on what seemed suitable (for instance, Office 2000 on a
Celeron 1.7).
If I were going to work with Office 2007 extensively I'd look at a quad
processor, and a 64 bit operating system so I could access several gigs
of ram.
But maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I will arise and go now,
For always night and day
I hear lake water lapping
With low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway
Or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
